I like to think of the idea of small/big businesses as a forest.
In forestry there is a thing called selective logging. If you leave a forest along for a long time the forest becomes dominated by very old trees. They reach high above all other plants, and choke the ground of all sunlight, ensuring only the oldest trees survive. This environment is prone do natural disaster as the loss of even a few of these giant old trees creates barren lands prone to land slides.
I wouldn't suggest anything like the government "reaping" the biggest and wealthiest businesses, however, I would suggest letting them drown when they begin to struggle. IMHO anything too big to fail is a liability to others, whether that be old trees or old businesses. Liabilities should be at the very least, be acknowledged for what they are.
